I'm always fighting to keep my computers running smoothly. Sometimes , when things are bad , i imagine small little creatures haunting my files and playfully making me miserable. I finally captured 4 of them. but there may be more.
Be aware that these little ghosts can be very dangerous if left alone. they should come in pair , at least , or stay the 4 together.
I designed 'Creatures' to be displayed in dyptic (2) or quadriptych (4). Each individual element has his own rhythm , and if displayed together , they will inevitably shift and offset , inviting the viewer to a psychedelic mind-elevating experience. I imagine the four of them levitating in a gigantic gravity-free virtual dance floor vibrating with good music and irradiating the hypnotized avatar crowd.
